I have those stories - the beginnings, the endings, even some of the middles... some opening paragraphs. But I freeze at the thought of putting them down on paper (or the computer). Because what if once they're out, they're nowhere near as good as they were in my head???
I know this feeling VERY well indeed! As you know, when I was part of a family, my writing got pushed aside, though i did write a few short stories in the 90s.
Nowadays, it is just me, and everything ELSE gets set aside in order to write. I can't wait to see what you will do with your wonderful ideas!
Thank you for the compliments on my penmanship. I think.

Thanks for the linky info, you 'splained it in a way even I could grasp. I tested it out on my blog, and like "magic" it worked!
Your penmanship is so much nicer than mine.
ReplyDeleteLovely handwriting. I'm a guy, so that pretty much rules me out on that.
ReplyDeleteDreaming of flight. Here's a secret for you: I dream as much about climbing invisible rungs in the air as I do actually flapping or soaring.
Thanks for stopping by my page.

I can't wait to see the story! And yes, you have beautiful writing. Mine, on the other hand, looks like a chicken grabbed a marker and fucked up.
ReplyDeleteno writing for me, no one (not even me) could read it.
